Jack's Big Music Show

My daughter is only 2 and begs to watch the show. We TIVO it regularly and she goes nuts over the show. I have seen every episode thus far at least 10 times each. It beats the heck out of Booh Baah and other trash like that. The music in it is cool. I even can live with it. My daughter would rather watch this show than any other on TV. She usually doesn't even watch TV but goes nuts when this is on. At least it teaches values and counting etc... It is a great show. The fact that Jack is such a music freak is really cool as well. He likes all kinds of music. My favorite is the Schwarzman Quartet those guys are really cool. They are in every episode and sing really cool songs. Laurie Berkner is really cool as well. There are other kid friendly groups that perform as well. Lot's of fun!!!

My daughter just turned one back on June 7, 2006. Jack's Big Music Show has been her all time favorite TV show for at least half her life. She sits in front of the vibrantly colored set and "cast" and is just taken in by it. She can watch episode after episode (even back to back) and not get bored with it. We can't say that for many other TV programs for her age bracket. The music is wonderful, the screenplays are adorable and Jack, Mary, Mel and Earl the Squirrel are just the best. If you have a Tivo, and a child that is six-months-old or above, this program will be perfect for them. We have it on Direct TV on Noggin and can't live without it. I say that it's entertaining for six-month and above, and i mean it. My Son, wife, myself and even some friends can sit in front of this show and thoroughly enjoy it. It's that good. Please take a moment to enjoy this show with your child. You will not be disappointed.

Jack's Big Music Show is the greatest! I have 2 nieces (2y/o & 1y/o), and since the eldest was born, Noggin has been the child-friendly programming of choice in their house. JBMS was a hit the first time the girls saw it. The puppets always play very nicely together which has taught the babies how to share; as well as how much fun it is to play with another child, which is great for young siblings. With kid friendly music videos that range from clever to super-silly, the girls love to dance and sing with the children on the TV. JBMS is also great for adults because there is enough of a variety to the music to prevent it from becoming tedious (like other children's programming.) We love the Schwartzman Quartet and they girls always ask for Jack, Mary, and Mel.

I am in my 30's, but I am not embarrassed to admit that I really enjoy watching the occasional "children's show". (Especially now that I am a proud aunt of a very smart toddler) Jack's Big Music Show is one of the best children's shows I have seen!! It is very entertaining and the music is great. I love how it mixes segments of music videos into the show.(Some of the songs stay with you for days! I haven't been able to get "Under a Shady Tree" out of my head for a week now ... but that isn't such a bad thing!) I also really enjoy some of the characters that I have seen so far on the show. Like the LITTLE Bad Wolf (BIG Bad's baby brother) and who can not smile over the Schwartzman Cortet!!

Hardcore children's show fans may recognize the voices. The voice of Jack is also the voice of Baby Bear on Sesame Street and Mary was the voice of Julie and Sizzle the Cat on Puzzle Place. (I had to come on to IMDb to find that out because it was driving me crazy! The voices were so familiar!!) If you are a Muppet Fan and a music lover, you just might enjoy this show ... no matter how old you are. BUT I Guarantee THE CHILDREN WILL LOVE IT!!!

I am editing this comment because since I have submitted it, I have read some things about this show that I want to address:

Although I made the comment that adults will love this show, we have to remember that THIS SHOW IS INTENDED FOR PRESCHOOLERS. I have read comments that go as far as complaining about the music on the show saying, "The music is frenetic and emphasizes rhythm over tune and lyricism" ... Does this person even KNOW a preschooler??!! When is the last time you heard your 3 year old comment about a song's lyrics? (Unbelievable!)

My opinion is my opinion and I can't convince anyone to like something they don't - but it is just not fair to compare a show for children to that of adults. But I happen to know that I am not the ONLY adult who feels like a good children's show is worth it's weight in gold ...

This show is really good!!

The best kids program on TV! A must see for anyone who wants their child to love great music. Laurie Berkner, the cornerstone musican on the show, is talented and diverse in the spectrum of children's indie rock tunes. In one episode the legendary guitarist Buddy Guy appears as the "King of Swing", whom Jack gets a special visit from because he finds a "golden ticket" in his new "King of Swing" CD. Other children's music notables such as Milkshake, Music for Aardvarks & Other Mammals, and Rebecca Frezza have fun music videos that provide some engaging eye candy to dance around a room to. With at least two music videos per episode and a number if other original songs preformed by the Muppet cast it has an exciting pace and will get even the most apatetic indivigual moving! So watch it and get moving! The best part is as a parent you will love it too!! Exciting, fun, and Joyous entertainment filled with some of the best music on TV. Jack, Mel and Mary are adorable characters that inspire the best in young children and their parents. A rare find in a sea of flat uninspiring children's programing that is flooding the air waves.
